Moderna & The Global mRNA Supply Chain: Regulatory Lessons LearnedOne of the most important reminders I took away from Moderna’s experiences ushering its mRNA vaccine onto the global market is that a commercial manufacturing process must also be accompanied by a commercially ready supply chain. Though sufficient physical volumes of each raw material and a redundant supplier network are necessities, physical scale is not the only “CQA” for which we must account when commercializing our supply chain.

What is the biggest hurdle to reaching metric-ton RNA production? In this segment, Advancing RNA Live speaker Claire McCleod discusses the biggest challenges to producing blockmers and in what ways the industry is reimagining upstream manufacturing to enable more efficient ligation.
Here, Ethris’ Christan Dohmen and Tune Therapeutics’ Stu Sundseth share their take on the most meaningful strategies for reducing dsRNA production. But this discussion also probes a deeper question: Is dsRNA still the most relevant impurity the industry should be chasing, or should focus shift to other contaminants?
In this Bioprocess Online Live panel, we discuss two experts' perspectives on the current state of the mRNA supply chain for critical raw materials and manufacturing supplies and where pain points still exist.
As CRISPR technology evolves beyond the original Cas9, gRNAs are transitioning from simple targeting tools into highly engineered, complex molecules. In this Advancing RNA Live segment, speakers April Sena, Max De Long, and Venkat Krishnamurthy discuss how the rise of diverse nucleases — including prime editors — is impacting gRNA synthesis and purity.
